History

Established in 1970.

In 1969, Odin Bryn persuaded a group of North Dakota teachers that they wanted to build a campground. He located land, and they began building — opening with only a few sites in 1970. During the next 15 years, they continued to expand the park until it reached 250 sites.

The park originally was an overnight campground for all ages, but it gradually changed into a more extended-​stay RV park for adults 55+. Inn 2002, the park again became an all ages park. Today, the park is still owned by the original family partners.

Currently the park has 213 full hook-​up sites with lush desert landscaping, a heated pool and spa, fitness center, pet grooming center, game room, laundry, restrooms. The park also offers massage services,
